AI simplified
Abstract
The mean total weight gain during pregnancy was 8.4 kg among 1367 women from Cebu, Philippines.
- Higher first trimester weight gain is linked to greater parity, lower prepregnant body mass index (BMI), and longer nonpregnant intervals.
- Total weight gain is associated with longer nonpregnant intervals, lower prepregnant BMI, taller maternal stature, and higher dietary energy intakes.
- Lactation into the third trimester negatively affects total weight gain.
- Maternal age over 35 years is associated with decreased total weight gain.
